Chapter 73_ The accident
Arya could hear the distant murmuring and chattering of the guests, everything happened so fast that she felt herself being sucked into a deep dark abyss..
And that was all she could remember before passing out..
***
Kyle caught up with Charlotte who was about to get into her car..
He grabbed her arm and pinned her against the car, his eyes were bloodshot and she knew this wasn’t a good sign..
“Don’t you have some explanations to do? where have you been all these years?! you abandoned your fiance and our day old baby at the hospital without a single trace!”
Charlotte’s tears fell freely from her eyes as she stared at Kyle..
“Just forget about me Kyle.. you shouldn’t have left your bride back there!”
Kyle grabbed her chin almost crushing it with his hands, his face inched to hers and all she could see in his eyes were anger, pain and unbelief..
“Give me an answer! where were you all these years Charlotte?! do you have any idea of what I went through?!”
Charlotte pushed him off and walked around the car hurriedly, she got in and drove off from the venue..
Kyle ran towards his car and snatched the key from his driver after which he got into his car and drove after Charlotte’s car..
Charlotte glanced towards her side mirror and was alarmed to see a car right behind her’s, she knew it was Kyle coming after her to ask questions that she didn’t have answers to..
She increased her acceleration and so did Kyle, they both continued the cat and mouse game on the highway..
Kyle pulled out his phone from his inner pocket that has been ringing nonstop for sometime, he glanced at the caller and answered it..
“Kyle! where are you?! your wife just passed out!”
Kyle closed his eyes briefly in anger, he knew leaving Arya at the alter was a really bad decision and he cursed himself multiple time for it..
However, as soon as he opened his eyes, a truck suddenly approached in full speed towards his car, he suddenly recalled taking a one way turn..
Before he could step on the breaks, the truck rammed into his car..
***
Arya’s eyes opened slowly, she sat up when she recalled what happened a moment ago and fresh tears poured out freely from her eyes..
She yanked off the veil that was still pinned to her hair and threw it across the room..
Mia came into the room to see Arya pulling out the needle off her hand..
“Arya! what are you doing?”
Arya climbed down from the bed and pushed Mia aside before bolting out of the ward..
Mia regained her stance and was about to go after Arya when her phone rang out, she raised the phone to her ear and the next word she heard made her face turn pale..
“What?!”
***
A group of people pushed an unconscious man who was bleeding from his head on a stretcher, blood dripped from his fingers leaving a trail on the tiled flooring..
In the midst of this people, Charlotte was among them..
“Kyle! can you hear me?! hang on.. you’ll be alright!”
The stretcher was pushed into the operating theatre after which the door was closed on her face..
Charlotte chewed on her nails in panick, she hoped he survived..
Hurried footsteps approached her and before she could tell what was going on, a slap was sent across her face by Elizabeth who was burning in rage..
“You! only you is to be blamed for what happened today! if you hadn’t shown your cursed face into our lives today.. Kyle wouldn’t be here!”
Elizabeth wailed loudly all she wanted right now was to tear this lady apart with her bare hands..
Charlotte ran her fingers through her hair and folded her arm peering at the woman who never for once liked her..
“I never knew you could be this daft Mrs Anderson!” Charlotte said in a firm tone with a small mocking smile on her face..
Mia narrowed her eyes Charlotte, she walked towards her and raised her hand ready to strike Charlotte but to her surprise it was caught on air..
“Don’t try to make that silly mistake just because your mum did so.. I spared her because she is older than I am but I can’t say much for you”
Mia pulled her hand off the conniving lady’s hold “You are jinxed Charlotte! couldn’t you have stayed wherever you were? you ruined my brother’s wedding and now he’s lying in a critical condition in there! if anything happens to him, you’ll be held responsible for it! you know what? get out of here!”
Mia’s chest heaved up and down as she took in deep breaths and out, she had never felt anything positive about this lady ever since she entered their lives there has been nothing but mishaps in the Anderson’s.
Charlotte rolled her eyes and looked towards Elizabeth who was still sobbing..
“I should leave? and where exactly is your perfect sister in-law? looks like she wasn’t perfect after all” Charlotte mocked and walked away in graceful steps..

Vanessa laughed out like a maniac as she watched the breaking news on her flat screen TV, she knew it..Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
She knew that this wedding wouldn’t be interesting without drama and it was just like she predicted..
In as much as Lora was close to Vanessa, she felt bad seeing this, whoever this Charlotte was needs to be given a tight slap..
Vanessa’s doorbell rang out once, and she sat up, who could it be?
Her maid walked hurriedly to the door and pulled it open..
“Good day ma’am”
Vanessa rose up to her feet when she saw the person who just walked into the room..
Even if she had known about her comeback she was still shocked to see her in her house..
Charlotte swiped her hair back in a swift motion and walked towards Vanessa who was still in a daze..
Lora was awed by the lady’s grace and how she carried herself elegantly like a queen who was in control..
“You…
A slap fell across Vanessa’s face, she raised her head back up to Charlotte who rather had a calm demeanor..
“Long time no see bestie.. I’ve heard all good reviews about you and how you helped me so much by trying to take my place in Kyle’s life”
Vanessa clenched her jaw in anger if looks could kill perhaps Charlotte would have been dead a million times..
“I see you’re still very much alive.. I’m the one you should be least concerned about! to hell with you and Kyle! your main concern should be Arya Carter! and who the hell do you think you are to raise your hand to me?!”
Charlotte snorted sending another slap to Vanessa who was being difficult to deal with..
“I believe you know who I am now or should I give you the third one?”
Lora silently watched the two who claimed to be best friends few years ago, all she could see was envy and betrayal in this so called friendship.
“I’m not here to cut off all ties with you.. you’re still a bit useful to be me though.. I need your help and in return I’ll lift up your sorry butt career that was tarnished!”

Dennis chuckled when he heard the question his son just asked..
“This isn’t funny dad! I know this had something to do with you! do you know how bad this new scandal is going to affect us?!” Martin roared in rage..
For once he thought everything was going the way it should be but his schemy dad had to ruin it all!
“Don’t you dare raise your voice to me kid! Kyle is lying at the hospital, this is the only chance you have to impress your grandfather otherwise you’ll be left in disarray when he chooses to give that little Ray the new position”
Martin placed his hands on his waist, in as much as this idea was tempting, he still refused to follow his greedy father’s idea..
“I’m just your pawn and nothing more right?! if you truly want that position so bad, then I suggest you do it yourself!”
Rita arched her brow as she stepped into the living room, she was also in the same mood as her husband but why was Martin suddenly behaving strangely?
“Martin! what is the matter with you?! this is a good news, you’ll be the new appointed CEO of the company”
“You both have lost your minds!” He lashed out furiously to them and stormed out of their presence..
Rita turned to her husband who had a frown settled on his forehead..
“We need to act fast, Kyle must not survive this accident! if he survives, there’ll be more chaos..”
Rita thoughtfully nodded her head, she agreed to his words.. if Kyle was out of the picture then her son will be running the company..
“So what are we going to do? the media are scattered everywhere around the hospital, how are we supposed to carry out such a task?!”
Dennis stroked his chin “Leave that all to me”
